Houston Texans @ Chicago Bears. 7:20. 11/11. **Official GameDay Thread**

[SheTexan]

OMG, I'm gonna have a flippin heart attack!! WooooHoooo way to go Bradie James!

[Norg]

WOOOOO!!! SMILE 2 my face :koolaid:

[Thorn]

yeah baby. who's getting the turnovers now

[ATXtexanfan]

Woot woot

[MEGA SWATT]

Freaking awesome result! Someone rep me, it's bad luck to be so close to 1000 and not get over the hump:choke:

[axman40]

Another fumble!

Hopefully this makes Lovie punt next time around.
Doubt that they had the 1st down +more

[Showtime100]

collingsworth just bashes texans and praise bears every chance he gets

Yeah, and to think I've defended him in the past. No more. This guy doesn't like us.

[BigB0iFresh]

:koolaid:oh yeah:koolaid:

[Brandon420tx]

Lets kill some more time of possession

[Lucky]

Rock'em sock'em! Which defense is the turnover king? :cow:

[kiwitexansfan]

Hate these late games.

Monday afternoon is the busiest time of the week at my job.

This game will be a defensive arm wrestle in my book so that 3 we got is a BIG 3.

If we are going to get a big play it will be on PA or a double move to take advantage of their aggression for the big play.

I am happy for Kubiak to ground and pound to try and open one of those opportunities up and that should be enough to make it ball game.

[Showtime100]

Freaking awesome result! Someone rep me, it's bad luck to be so close to 1000 and not get over the hump:choke:

Ok, say something smart and I'll rep you. :D :fans:

[Brewski]

Smat play Schaub

[ChrisG]

Dobbins out for undisclosed reason

[Doppelganger]

Dobbins in locker room.

[Malloy]

Gotta get 7 this time.

[CloakNNNdagger]

Schaub has not lateral sidestep move at all.

[BullBlitz]

Who plays ILB if Dobbins is out?

[hradhak]

THe out to AJ is getting read. Stop throwing that!!!

[TexanSam]

Dobbins is out? ****

[Pollardized]

Freaking awesome result! Someone rep me, it's bad luck to be so close to 1000 and not get over the hump:choke:

Done

[axman40]

1st down

[Brandon420tx]

This is what we gotta do this game, get Foster involved in the pass game

[msbbc833]

I was asking why Ruud was in earlier. Now we know why.

[MEGA SWATT]

Ok, say something smart and I'll rep you. :D :fans:

I like faith hill's legs (and everything, and I mean everything else on her):fans:

[hradhak]

Duane Brown needs to lock down. Schaub can't keep getting blindside hits

[Lurvinator11]

Good first down.

Who was out for the Bears? They mentioned someone being out for the rest of the game before they talked about Dobbins.

[ChrisG]

Dobbins is out? ****

Sorry should rework my post, he is in the locker room. Hopefully not injury related. He went after recovering the fumble

[welsh texan]

Harris in at TE next to Duane Brown.

[GP]

Harris at LT??? Didn't get a push out of it.

[Doppelganger]

Who plays ILB if Dobbins is out?

Barrett Rudd.

[hradhak]

OUr running game is really not doing anything. I dunno why it's so much worse this year

[axman40]

Schaub crappy pass of the game

[AnthonyE]

Sigh.

[dc_txtech]

Balls.

[welsh texan]

****.

[Topher]

:choke:

[ChrisG]

Schaub throws an INT, forced it

[Doppelganger]

You knew it would happen with the rain. C'mon D hold them!

[Brandon420tx]

Not good

[Austrian]

Turnover fest this game.

[BullBlitz]

Lots of passing for a rainy night.

[Lurvinator11]

Great....

[AnthonyE]

OUr running game is really not doing anything. I dunno why it's so much worse this year

Brisel leaving has a lot to do with it IMO. Dude was a tough SOB.

[Thorn]

oops

[ATXtexanfan]

Dang it

[Wolf]

Schaub with his ****ty throw of the game

[MEGA SWATT]

Thanks everyone for the rep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Wow, a turn over:vincepalm:

[dc_txtech]

I would have called a draw.:kitten:

[CloakNNNdagger]

Schaub's been forcing it all night........it was just a matter of time.

[GP]

Good first down.

Who was out for the Bears? They mentioned someone being out for the rest of the game before they talked about Dobbins.

Shea McClellin, the guy the Bears drafted in the first round of this past draft.

Mercilus fell to us. A lot of people here on draft day thought the Beats would snag Mercilus.

[Doppelganger]

OUr running game is really not doing anything. I dunno why it's so much worse this year

Missing Briesel and Winston.

[Showtime100]

Well, at least he was ruled down back at the interception. I think Collinsworth is beating it like it owes him money right about now.

[TexanSam]

I bet there's at least two more turnovers this game due to the weather. Hopefully it's the Bears who turn it over and not us

[OzzO]

As long as it's only one "SSTotG"... I can live with it. And wouldn't Chicago be down where the ball was intercepted since Texans player was touching at the same time?

[Brandon420tx]

Asking for Rep is bad luck

[DaTruthExplodes]

why THE EFFF IS KUBIAK EMPLOYING A PASS HAPPY OFFENSIVE SET IN THE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


STOP WITH THE 2ND AND 10 RUNNING PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GP]

Run the ball. Play defense.

It's pretty simple.

But Kubiak cannot help himself.

[mariowillshine15]

Martin slipped. Damn rain.

[BullBlitz]

Missing Briesel and Winston.

Agree, but wet grassy field tonight too.

[Malloy]

Well, at least he was ruled down back at the interception. I think Collinsworth is beating it like it owes him money right about now.

He's a useless piece of commentator...

[Lucky]

Schaub with his ****ty throw of the game
That was on Martin slipping.

[Stemp]

Missing OD in the middle.

[Mr. Texan]

o line has been garbage

[ChrisG]

Collingsworth is just a *********.

[Wolf]

Colinswothless is just flipping horrible

[msbbc833]

Dobbins back thank goodness

[AnthonyE]

Collinsworth. Ugh.

[Doppelganger]

Dobbins back

[axman40]

come on D get the ball back

[macho grande]

That was on Martin slipping.

True dat.

[beerlover]

Schaub's been forcing it all night........it was just a matter of time.

Martin slipped, not on Schaub.

[Lurvinator11]

Collinsworth is worse than how Dierdorf is with the Ravens. Pathetic.

[msbbc833]

Gimme dat pick

[ChrisG]

Manning with a pick in the redzone

[dc_txtech]

Manning!!!

[SmoochyTX]

Thank you Manning for digging us out of that hole we were in.

[Topher]

Woot! Pick!

[OzzO]

[Showtime100]

Manning loves him some Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ajohnson80]

i just want to go ahead and thank the bears for not paying manning

[Doppelganger]

Manning int!

Nobody wants to hold onto the ball...

[BigB0iFresh]

[Norg]

[msbbc833]

[Lucky]

Your wish is their command.

[ATXtexanfan]

Messy game

[ChrisG]

Tipped at line PICKED BY D. MANNING

Dont think it was tipped, looked overthrown

[DaTruthExplodes]

boobiak you idiot RUN THE EFFIN BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doppelganger]

Tipped at line PICKED BY D. MANNING

Who tipped it?

[Thorn]

Wow. It's gonna be one of those kinds of games.

[Mr. Texan]

manning :cow:

wade saving kubiaks ass again :cow:

[Texan_Bill]

Does Danieal Manning have a big game facing his former team??

:thinking:

:thinking:

[Specnatz]

Schaub's been forcing it all night........it was just a matter of time.

that was not a force Martin fell down

[Nawzer]

Wow! Manning on fire!

[BullBlitz]

Risky to throw tonight, but Cutler's got a cannon. Haven't seen him play in a while.

[axman40]

Time for a Texan's TD!

[CretorFrigg]

What are we watching? haha

[GP]

Gary, for the love of God, just do the simple, high percentage plays here.

Chip away, bit by bit. We don't have to outdo Peyton Manning. Just keep it ****ing simple.

Run the ball. Play defense. Short passes.

[macho grande]

**** it. I'll take a 3-0 win :)

[ATXtexanfan]

Endzone please

[Brandon420tx]

It looked like it got a slight wobble as it passed out Dline to me. Need replay to verify

[srrono]

WOW our D has come to play

[Norg]

Gary, for the love of God, just do the simple, high percentage plays here.

Chip away, bit by bit. We don't have to outdo Peyton Manning. Just keep it ****ing simple.

Run the ball. Play defense. Short passes.

thank U high % plays plzzz

[alphajoker]

Offense has gotta take advantage of the TO's.

[DaTruthExplodes]

why is kubiak employing a pass happy offensive set in the rain? against this bears defense?

stupid coach.

[Naiirb]

"Possible illegal contact not called" Please stfu Collinsworth

[Showtime100]

FORSETTE, Al Michaels, not Foster

Lol, the NEXT play would be Mr Arian Foster.

[BigB0iFresh]

im already sick of Collinsworth

[Malloy]

Looks like bad Cutler showed up today, let's hope he stays until the game is done :)

[axman40]

Foster!

[Brewski]

Foster gettin some

[AnthonyE]

http://i.imgur.com/rElrc.jpg

[Dutchrudder]

Nice blocking by AJ there.

[Malloy]

Harry Foster?

[BullBlitz]

Looks like bad Cutler showed up today, let's hope he stays until the game is done :)

Way too early to say.

[DaTruthExplodes]

please stop with the 2nd and 10 running plays boobiak.

[Brandon420tx]

http://i.imgur.com/rElrc.jpg

Definately 2 good defenses. Bears offense might be a little careless after their game against the Tits

[Showtime100]

http://i.imgur.com/rElrc.jpg

Two defensive heavyweights + November Chicago weather = long day for two offenses.

[Mr. Texan]

so far the bears look like the dome team, not the texans :kitten:

[ChrisG]

"Possible illegal contact not called" Please stfu Collinsworth

It was just football, nothing crazy. He just doesn't like the Texans. Wish the NFL would find some non-bias commentators. (Or I wish the online feed of Texans radio would match up with the TV)

[Malloy]

Way too early to say.

Hence the 'let's hope' comment :)

[MEGA SWATT]

You guys (and gals) are awesome. Doubled my rep points - TEXANS must win NOW!

Another pick. Love it!


We need a big break-away play!:splits:

[axman40]

Again

[Dan B.]

Ugly football

[ChrisG]

Schaub throws another pick. Completely overthrown

[Brandon420tx]

Wow, that was a really really really bad throw

[Lurvinator11]

Who the hell was he throwing it to!

Ughhhhh

[Wolf]

What the ****

[ATXtexanfan]

I don't like this

[Showtime100]

OK, I don't think Al or Chris even watch the game.

[AnthonyE]

Ball just slipped out of Schaub's hand.

[ChrisG]

Looks like Bears on the field, where is there penalty?

[Stemp]

These officials are awful about blowing the whistle when a guy is down.

[rmartin65]

Now that was a bad throw.

[Norg]

why is Kubes doing these deep passes WHYYY ...?????

[BigB0iFresh]

Terrible pass by schaub

[Showtime100]

Chicago is told to get off the field, we get penalized????

[Malloy]

wth was that ?

[beerlover]

That one sure looked like Schaub's fault (over threw Andre).

[AnthonyE]

Not sure how Collinsworth doesn't see casey touch him.

[Mr. Texan]

no more mid to long passes

[Texas T]

Who the hell was he throwing it to!

Ughhhhh

Over threw AJ.

[Thorn]

that was a bad throw by Schaub

[ChrisG]

why is Kubes doing these deep passes WHYYY ...?????

He is not sure if its raining or not. What are they reviewing. Even if he wasn't down the official blew the whistle

[OzzO]

You guys (and gals) are awesome. Doubled my rep points - TEXANS must win NOW!

Another pick. Love it!


We need a big break-away play!:splits:

Since rep was requested... it's been nasty. You need to appease Karma

[axman40]

I guess the D will have to score the TD

[Showtime100]

Watch this **** get overturned.

[Txn_in_Oki]

I'm getting tierd of the commentator & zebra love-fest for Chicago already... extremely boring to listen to, and also very unprofessional...

I was just about to comment on this. I'm about to put my tv on mute because it's absolutely ridiculous how one sided the commentators are. If my 9 year old daughter can tell how lopsided it is then there's definitely a problem.

Collinsworth has always sucked but he's reaching new levels of douche on this one.

[MEGA SWATT]

Man, this whole nite is going to be one turn over after another.

[TexanSam]

We're open deep but the ball looks like its slipping out of Schaub's hand.

[Naiirb]

Casey touches him as he's going down. If they give the Bears a TD it will be a load of bollocks

[GP]

I ****ing HATE this head coach.

Grrrrreat gameplan, Gary.

Out****ing standing.

[Brandon420tx]

I'm thinking we gotta Neg Rep TEXANS4MARIO till he gets back to under 1000 to get the universe back in balance

[BullBlitz]

This is really interesting. Which coach is going to adjust his offense to the field and weather conditions first.

Tough to throw long tonight.

[CloakNNNdagger]

Wow, that was a really really really bad throw

And there were 3 d men on top of AJ.

[Lucky]

Kubiak has got to put Schaub in a better position to protect the ball. Still, Matt can't make mistakes like that.

[MEGA SWATT]

Since rep was requested... it's been nasty. You need to appease Karma

Well, give it some time - we'll get the ball back.

Mabye 3 to 0 will win this game.

[Norg]

and u know the said thing the play before that we were moving and running good

[Mr. Texan]

someone give schaub a dryer towel and some stickem

[ChrisG]

They cant rule a TD, they blew the whistle

[AnthonyE]

Hey guise I need rep. If you give me rep then maybe we'll start playing well again! DO IT FOR THE TEAM!

[Stemp]

This is really interesting. Which coach is going to adjust his offense to the field and weather conditions first.

.

First to score a TD.

[DaTruthExplodes]

anybody who says kubiak is an offensive guru deserves a mild beatdown.

anybody.

i hate this idiotic head coach.

RUN THE EFFIN BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hradhak]

why is there a review? it was called down on the field?

[ChrisG]

Schaub has overthrown the WR 3 times at least. Gotta stop going long. It is dangerous with the rain

[Rey]

I don't like watching games like this. Especially involving the texans....

[ATXtexanfan]

A pick six will when this

[TexanSam]

I ****ing HATE this head coach.

Grrrrreat gameplan, Gary.

Out****ing standing.

How was that Kubes fault? Schaub either has to make the throw or start checking down

[Showtime100]

No question, down by contact. Chris....you know better than that.

[hradhak]

Man this is gonna get ugly.

[GP]

I'm getting to "Don't give a ****" territory really fast.

[Txn_in_Oki]

Not sure how Collinsworth doesn't see casey touch him.

Lovie Smith's balls were in his eyes.

[beerlover]

Earl sighting!

[WolverineFan]

Kubiak is calling a good game. The PA is there. Schaub just cannot hit anything.

[kiwitexansfan]

How was that Kubes fault? Schaub either has to make the throw or start checking down

C'mon Sam, you've been hear long enough to know that everything that goes wrong is Kubiak's fault and all that is good is from the players.

[Showtime100]

Man this is gonna get ugly.

Whaddaya mean "gonna?" :fans:

[axman40]

got lucky there

[DaTruthExplodes]

How was that Kubes fault? Schaub either has to make the throw or start checking down

its been kubes fault for the last couple years now.

why would you employ a pass happy offensive set in the rain vs this defense when foster is having success early?

[Brandon420tx]

Block this kick

[Brewski]

What happened to the Marshall double team

[ChrisG]

Bad no call, especially if he caught it

[IlliniJen]

I'm getting to "Don't give a ****" territory really fast.

http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000824249/polls_GomerSurprise_1140_696117_answer_1_xlarge.jp eg

[hradhak]

Was that FG tipped?

[WolverineFan]

Bears give us 3 turnovers to work with and we gift 2 of them back. Just ridiculous.

[Rey]

What happened to the Marshall double team

Wait....

People actually believed wade when he said that??

[GP]

What is Collinsworth watching?????

Insipid little doosh nozzle.

[MEGA SWATT]

Hey guise I need rep. If you give me rep then maybe we'll start playing well again! DO IT FOR THE TEAM!

Done. Well, you prevented a TD, but not a field goal. I guess that works

[TexanSam]

I'm getting to "Don't give a ****" territory really fast.

It's a tie game...

[Norg]

u know i bet kubes is going to get smart the bears think OK kubes will go run and dink now he has to but kubes will sayyy nope we are going to continue to throw the ball down the field just to psyce them out

[OzzO]

Was that FG tipped?

sure looked like it when it came off, but may have just been an odd kick. Of course the wind was absolutely still during the attempt.

[Mr. Texan]

take away the texans pa bomb and run game and they have nothing

[2012Champs]

I ****ing HATE this head coach.

Grrrrreat gameplan, Gary.

Out****ing standing.



Yeah the guy has only coached the team to a 7-1 fing guy.

[Brandon420tx]

Maybe TEXANS4MARIO just has to start spreading a crap ton of rep to get back in the good graces of the universe

[GP]

You know what we need right now?

More deep passes into no man's land!

Just throw it as far and as high as we can. Preferable away from our own receivers. That's been working well thus far!

[Norg]

why do i get that hunch the reffs will screw us today

[Jottoz]

This would be a good time for K. Martin to help us forget that J. Jones and T. Holliday both scored on special teams today!!!

Go KMART!! Maybe he will actually get a block or two

[Showtime100]

u know i bet kubes is going to get smart the bears think OK kubes will go run and dink now he has to but kubes will sayyy nope we are going to continue to throw the ball down the field just to psyce them out

Geez, now I have to figure out which one of us is drunk. :D

[TEXANRED]

Starting on a vodka drip.

[Brandon420tx]

Don't turn over the ball, Don't turn over the ball

[ATXtexanfan]

Every play feels like jacoby fielding a punt

[alphajoker]

Likewise on the vodka drip.

[Lucky]

This would be a good time for K. Martin to help us forget that J. Jones and T. Holliday both scored on special teams today!!!

When he doesn't fumble, I consider it a win.

[MEGA SWATT]

Go foster. Let's see if the meat-eater foster is better than the plant eater.

[Lurvinator11]

Yeah the guy has only coached the team to a 7-1 fing guy.

Don't waste your time replying to him.

He put you on his ignore list. Remember?

[ChrisG]

These commentators are so stupid. Trying to relive a younger life

[Norg]

Foster Is gaming TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Showtime100]

Somebody needs to tell Tillman the kid isn't his. :tiphat:

[2012Champs]

Don't waste your time replying to him.

He put you on his ignore list. Remember?


Yeah but you quoted me so he can see it

[ChrisG]

Who was whining about Foster avoiding contact last week? Foster just running people over this week

[welsh texan]

Foster is back on the meat - Foster is breaking tackles again :kitten:

[Rey]

What's all this whining about going down the field?

[Norg]

O **** Forsettt THAT MOVE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ****

[Lurvinator11]

Yeah but you quoted me so he can see it

Haha, now he can!

[GP]

My oh my! Look what happens when you run the ball, Gary!

[OzzO]

stop dancing Forsett

[ChrisG]

Newton got beat bad

[GP]

That's fine. Good safe call, punt and get better field position.

[Showtime100]

Who was whining about Foster avoiding contact last week? Foster just running people over this week

I'll never whine about our runningback avoiding contact. I think that's what he's paid to do. :D

[Norg]

punting dis is a win lol

[Lady.Gaga.3000]

Get the texans to 3rd and long, get ready for punt next play.

[Naiirb]

Have we even thrown a pass to a TE? We're really missing OD

[Brandon420tx]

I never noticed Jones kicks with his left

[Mr. Texan]

gonnabe hard for the texans to win with no vertical game

[AnthonyE]

I like Collinsworth's backhanded compliment of schaub there. LOL

[Brewski]

Let's go big D

[TexanSam]

Almost a great punt. That ball just died

[Brandon420tx]

Have we even thrown a pass to a TE? We're really missing OD

That ugly PA screen to start the game

[Showtime100]

Almost a great punt. That ball just died

Agreed, I hope he takes note of that for later.

[Premier]

Almost a great punt. That ball just died

thats that notoriously muddy chicago field...

[Lurvinator11]

McLame on twitter right now looking for everything to complain about.

One tweet he complains about how we aren't running enough.

Next tweet is about how we ran too much.

:wadepalm:

[hradhak]

We are giong to need to find a way to start throwing it. Foster and Forsett aren't going to be enough.

[Malloy]

Have we even thrown a pass to a TE? We're really missing OD

Or Walter... It's all AJ & Foster :/

[srrono]

Our Def is working with good Field position this drive

[Lurvinator11]

That's good, just keep hitting Cutler. He will throw up a dud eventually.

[srrono]

3d stop here

[ChrisG]

Huge coverage for Jackson, awesome job

[TexanSam]

McLame on twitter right now looking for everything to complain about.

One tweet he complains about how we aren't running enough.

Next tweet is about how we ran too much.

:wadepalm:

I noticed that. I just want to reach through my computer and punch him

[Rey]

Where is the pressure?

[srrono]

nice job KJ

[Doppelganger]

Strange bear play calling.

[OzzO]

Nice K Jax!

[dc_txtech]

Kareem should have had a pick but he went into celebration mode.

[Mr. Texan]

kareem jackson is BALLIN
